[絵本] 〔１４〕羽柴秀吉一代記下

辻岡文助編 · 1881 · 辻岡文助 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era (1881) Japanese picture book (ehon) published by Tsujioka Bunsuke, the second volume of a life of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, printed in woodblock with dense columns of kana text. Its pictures are bold, sketchy battle scenes with heavy black ink masses, billowing smoke and turbulent water, useful to a designer seeking energetic woodcut-style compositions, dramatic movement and expressive line work.
